Thanks, I did the telnet trick to see everything:
GET /badpdf.jsp HTTP/1.0
Returns:
HTTP/1.1 200 OK

So it looks like servlet time.
About PDFs as Text - As someone who beta tested Acrobat 1.0 and has followed it ever since
although not as closely since 4.0. Done all kinds of things like Java applets launched from
a 3.0
plugin, etc. - Since PDF-1.2 (or so) and linearized/zipped content streams PDFs are no longer
7-
bit ASCII. So, I can see where a character set choice might confuse any of the applications
upstream of the web server!
Also, Jess's point about worrying about linefeeds is something I'm always checking - particularly
the one(s) which easily can get tacked on after the last %> - PDFs (unless linearized)
need the end
of the file to find everything - all the objects are found from the end.
Here we are the little guys and upstream we have Sun, MSFT and Adobe doing what they will.
Peace.
